In June 2026, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari launched the Annapurna Scheme. Who are the primary beneficiaries and what is the benefit?
Women receiving Rs. 3,000 monthly financial assistance
According to the official answer key, the Annapurna Scheme launched in West Bengal in June 2026 is a women-centric welfare programme under which eligible women beneficiaries receive Rs. 3,000 per month as direct financial assistance.
The scheme is aimed at strengthening the economic security of women in the state by providing them with a fixed monthly cash transfer, credited directly to their bank accounts.
The other options describe unrelated welfare interventions — tribal-student coaching for IIT-JEE, subsidised loans for Muslim artisans and housing for transgender persons — and are not part of the Annapurna Scheme's benefit design.
Hence, the primary beneficiaries are women, who receive Rs. 3,000 monthly financial assistance.
